I have been searching the forums for a few hours, and am having a hard time finding out how to do something that I think should be quite simple. All I am looking to do is add location info to a custom content_type so that I can map it. I have gmap, the location api, and cck, but am not able to see where I can add a custom field for location_latitude and location:longitude. If I try to create a custom view, all the location:* fields show up, but I don't know where to enable them so I can add data into these fields.
If anyone would show me the light, I would appreciate it.
Also, I have seen some sites where people use a google map to set the lat/lon. If anyone could show me where to find that cool piece of script, I would appreciate that also.
Thanks

How about CCK
CCK can probably do this. Otherwise you'll probably need a module to save the extra data.

Settingper content type
For the location module, if you visit "Administer" -> "Content management" -> "Content types" you will see a page listing each content type with an 'edit' operation. Click on 'edit' for your content type and you will find a section for location which allows you to determine which fields to show in the add/edit form. You may also need to look under "User management" for "Access Control" and configure the permisions for the location module.
Thanks nevets
I can't believe how blind I can be sometimes. I checked that page 80 times before posting here, and now I see the link. Sorry for wasting your time, hopefully someone else will find this posting useful, that won't make me feel so bad lol.
We all do it
I missed something like that earlier today...
